Life Reimagined: The Science, Art, and Opportunity of Midlife by Barbara Bradley Hagerty
4.0
It’s been days since I’ve finished this book, and I’m still trying to figure out what to say about it.
This is the type of book you want to buy multiple copies of and pass out to all of your friends.
This isn’t just a good book, this is a *necessary* book.
The book discusses middle-aged brains… but really, middle-aged *life*. And yes, there are some downsides (spoiler alert: we learn new skills more slowly than our 25-year-old peers) but there are some significant upsides, too. More than anything, this book is a call-to-action to push ourselves out of comfortable boundaries, learn new things, give time and energy to things we find most meaningful (and walk away from those we don't), and most importantly to commit to living our best lives.
